1. Are tow mirrors the same 13-18 I found a set but they say 13-17?

2. I plan to install the factory brake controller will alphaobd allow me to make it fully function without having the dealership flash it?

3. Mirrors from 1 have turn signals puddle lights heated etc. My stock mirrors are only heated will alphaobd allow me to turn those features on?

4. Will alphaobd work with a Samsung phone or do I have to buy a tablet?

Any help much appreciated thx.

Also I keep reading there should be 2 connectors for the brake controller and says it may not have them. What do these look like? I have a 18 express I would hope they are there but never know

The two connectors for the trailer brake controller will be under the dash just below the key/tipstart housing, usually in foam wrap. Check out this vid around 14:30...

#1 Yes they will mount, plug in and function the same.

#3 Yes AlfaOBD will program this for you but you will need to change both front door modules.

By changing modules are you talking about settings or actual hardware?

Actual door modules. You have one mounted in each front door above the door speaker.

Here are the modules you will need to work the power folding mirrors.

DOOR CONTROL MODULE W FOLD LEFT 68225103AC
DOOR CONTROL MODULE W FOLD RIGHT 68225102AC

You will also need to change the drivers door window switch assembly to one that has the power folding button on it.

Choose two or four door truck.

MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WITH FOLD TWO DOOR 68148895AA
MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WITH FOLD FOUR DOOR 56046826AE

You will still need to use the AlfaOBD to turn on the power fold option once all is installed.

How did you make out with this upgrade? I am looking to do the same on my '14 2500 Laramie and had a question about the modules...are they only specific to the power fold vs manual or do they also control the heated mirror etc?

Worked out great just changed our the mirror truck already had all of the spots to plug everything in. Just had to flash it to activate. Everything works like it was a factory option.
